TMC Appoints Women Leaders to Key Posts in Malda
The Trinamool Congress (TMC) party in Malda, India, has given new roles to two important women leaders.
Sabitri Mitra, a former minister, will guide the local government, and Chaitali Sarkar, whose husband was recently killed, will help her.
This shows the party is trying to unite and also brings experienced leaders into the spotlight.
Some people are wondering if the party is changing its rules about how many jobs one person can hold.
Both women have expressed their commitment to the party's goals.
TMC appointed Sabitri Mitra as mentor and Chaitali Sarkar as co-mentor of Malda zilla parishad.
Both women are prominent TMC leaders in the Malda district.
